Brett Sanders Pays Traffic Ticket With Pennies
Brett Sanders, from Frisco, Texas, was cited by police for going over the speed limit and decided to pay his fine in nothing but pennies, according to reports on Tuesday.
Sanders was reportedly angry that a jury decided he deserved the ticket for only going nine miles over the speeding limit.
The city ordered Sanders to pay $212 in fines, and as payback he thought it would be a good idea to make his payment inconvenient — by paying in pennies.
“I was on my residential street when I got a ticket for going nine miles over the speed limit,” Sanders told CNN. “I thought it was unfair. I did not injure anyone, and I did not endanger anyone.”
Sanders got the pennies from a bank, painted two buckets with the words “Extortion payment,” went to the Frisco Municipal Court and spilled the bucket of pennies on the counter.
Sanders even managed to record his whole transaction to post on YouTube.
“Not only am I [ticked] off about this ticket and paying with pennies to clog up the system, but I also want to protest the whole racket,” the Texas man said.
The city of Frisco wouldn’t comment on the specifics of the incident. But spokeswoman Dana Baird told CNN the pennies were counted using two coin-cashing machines — and took staffers about three hours to count.
